Great news for homeless services in Cork, with Kepak Group and the Simon Community announcing over 10,000 meals available to people across the next year.

The international meat company in partnership with the beloved charity, have announced a ‘Sunday Roast’ service to give 30,000 meals to homeless people in Ireland.

The Simon Community will be getting a delivery of beef, lamb, pork and chicken products each week for the next 12 months.

This will save thousands of euro for the charity, freeing up funds for a number of key services.

Louisa MacKenzie from the Simon Community, said: “We are truly delighted to have Kepak come on board to help us provide a nutritious roast dinner to the many families who simply cannot afford to,

"Partnerships such as this are what we envisaged when we launched Food For Simon in 2009. Our goal was to reduce the cost of food provision by collaborating with Irish businesses so we could re-direct cost savings into providing our vital services such as outreach, housing and health supports to people who are homeless or at risk and having Kepak on board will allow us to do just that. ”
